During the summer of 2001 the author spent 10 weeks in Guatemala as a recipient of a Fulbright-Hays Lectureship Award. The award was given to teach undergraduate and graduate environmental engineering courses at the Universidad del Valle, a private university in Guatemala City. This paper describes the country of Guatemala in general, the Fulbright program, requirements for the undergraduate degree in civil engineering and contents of environmental coursework, and environmental problems and potential remedies in the areas of potable water treatment, wastewater treatment, solid waste management and air pollution control.
